The Miami Heat had the option to try to trade for Kevin Durant while keeping Kel'el Ware, ESPN's Shams Charania said on Monday's episode of the Pat McAfee Show.

There was mutual interest between Durant and the Heat, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported, but Miami declined the chance to send Jaime Jacquez Jr., Nikola Jovic, Haywood Highsmith, the No. 20 pick and other draft assets to the Suns in a deal.

The Rockets came away as winners in the Kevin Durant sweepstakes as they traded for the 15-time All-Star on Sunday just hours before Game 7. It is a move that can and will continue to make shockwaves in the NBA.
